Aperture 3 Contact Sheet Caption Bug ?

Hi, has anyone figured out a way to keep the relationship between metadata captions and the images consistent when compiling contact sheets. I am finding that if there is a mixture of landscape and portrait images, then the caption will not adjust to appear below the portrait images but simply print inside the image. Also, all the captions change their relative positions when you change the column/row configuration. Is this a bug and if so, does anyone know how to report it to Apple.

Hi there
Seems like it is a bug - if so you can report it to Apple by choosing Provide Aperture Trial Feedback from the Aperture menu within the program.
Printing seems to be the main thing from prevent AP3 from being useful to me currently, inability to make presets 'stick', border printing around an image even when no border is selected. There's probably more problems in printing but I'm kind of disheartened to use it to find any more, it's cost me a lot of wasted time already.
Take care

  • LR 3 Contact Sheet Caption Problem

    I am using LR 3.0 on a Win XP machine.  I want to print a multiple line caption below each picture on a multi-row, multi-column contact sheet using the single image contact sheet layout style.  I have set up a preset in the photo info panel with the information I want and how I want it to appear below each image on the contact sheet.
    My problem is after I have everything set as I want and see in the first page when I select another set of images or another page the preview will only show the first line of the multi-line caption.  I have to make some change to any one item in the layout panel such as change a margin or cell spacing or change to another layout and back in the photo info panel for all lines of the caption to appear. If this is not done, the actual print will only show one line of the caption.  The multi-line caption worked fine in LR 2.
    I have searched forums, blogs, etc for help and have not found an answer to my problem.  Has anyone experience this problem and found a solution?

  • Contact sheet caption missing for some photos

    I made a contact sheet from a selection of photos and for some reason, the one metadata field I selected to output with each image, the IPTC caption field, is included in some but not all photos: the specific photo I wanted did not have the caption output. (It is a JPG file.)
    The caption is rather long (27 lines, 517 characters), but that should not be a problem.
    Any ideas why some image's caption field is not coming out on the contact sheet?
    Regards,
    Strathglass

    No one have any idea why captions for some photos do NOT appear on my contact sheets?
    Regards, Strathglass.

  • Showing Resolution in Contact Sheet Captions

  • Creating pdf contact sheets at screen resolution using aperture/photoshop

    Can anyone advise me on how to create a pdf document of contact sheets- low resolution [72 screen res]that is less time consuming than the present work flow described below?
    At present I export jpegs 450pxl 72dpi from aperture. create contact sheets in photoshop and then
    create a pdf in photoshop. Average number of images per client is approx 800-1000,
    The pdf I have created with aperture has a resolutuin of 300dpi- which is a large file to email etc. I have tried reimporting the 450pxl jpegs but aperture still creates the document at 300dpi.
    Is it possible ...
    1/. to solely use aperture to create low res pdf's
    2/. If not is it possible to create an action in photoshop [or use automator] to speed up the process described above?
    I do have a little experience using actions in photoshop but am by no means an experienced user.

    Awesome! I didnt even know aperture could do that
    Now another quick question on this topic, if im using RAW files, does aperture need to convert the file to jpeg or tiff (like it does if you export version as jpeg)?
    If it does, that may be a problem as it takes forever for aperture on my macbook to convert raws and save as jpegs, like a good minute or two per photo, and if i have 200odd photos....not good, people will crack it waiting and leave.
    Or does it print as raw? Cause im pretty sure my printer (or any printer) can not print raw files. Will try it tonight on my printer but a heads up will be useful.
    I could just shoot in hi-res jpeg, but id rather shoot raw incase they want a large poster size print etc.
    Thanks.

  • Caption problem with Contact Sheet II plugin

    I'm using the current version of Photoshop CC (2014.2.1) and suddenly have a caption anomaly that is quite annoying. When creating contact sheets using Contact Sheet II no matter what setting I request for caption font sizes it created the contact sheet with 2.2 pt. text. I've never had an issue. I tried resetting the type tool itself but that made mo different I normally set the captions to 10 to 12 pt.
    This issue just began in the last week. I did update to the new Mac os (Yosemite) in the last ten days.
    Any idea as to what is going on? Thanks for any help.
    Scott Weaver

    I believe that's a bug in photoshop cc 2014.2 and cc 2014.2.1

  • Displaying Metadata In Aperture's Pdf Contact Sheet

    Hello everyone,
    I have been using Aperture's PDF contact sheets. It has a nifty way of showing metadata like caption underneath the photo. My problem is i do not want to display "Caption : TreeStump" I only want to display "TreeStump"
    Is there a way of doing this in aperture, or is there a plugin that can do this for me?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Jay.

    I don't see a way of doing it from within aperture.

  • Minor bug in Print module (numbering of Contact Sheet pages)

    I have selected one image from the Library or the film strip, went to the Print module and selected "5x8 Contact Sheet" from the Template Browser. On the top/left corner, it states "Page 1 of 2", while obviously there is one page only. Adding more pictures to fill in multiple pages, and moving from one page to another, the indication on top/left is recurrently wrong, e.g. indicating Page 2 of 2 when I am on 1 of 2. Numbering in the lower right rectangle is correct, instead.

    Lightroom automatically wraps text under the thumbnail in contact sheets. The Text Template Editor does not allow you to enter line breaks. So, if your Filename is long enough to fill the first line, the caption will start with the second. If not, you can tweak the template somehow so that it looks the way you want.

  • Contact Sheet II, Caption Overflow

    Hi,
    We're currently using CS5 and have InDesign CS2 + Adobe Bridge CS2 loaded on one computer. We use this instance for it's contact sheet feature. It appears that something simliar to this is in Adobe CS6 via Photoshop, but when I create a contact sheet, it doesn't appear to autofit the caption on the page as it did in CS2. This results in ellipsises at the end of all our captions.
    Is there a way to fix this? If not, we can't upgrade this instance.
    Thanks,
    Jack Musick

    Do you mean the file name (caption) is cut off and there are periods (dots) at the end name?
    Did you try adjusting the pt size for the caption (bottom of contact sheet II dialog)?

  • Why is my Aperture contact sheet missing photos?

    I have 437 photos selected.  I choose Print>Contact Sheets.   I choose 4 rows/6 columns.   But no matter what I do, Aperture will only load 16 images per page.   The next page will also have 16 images.   I have tweaked the number of columns and rows but this does not fix it.   Any ideas?

    What are your settings for Row Spacing, Column Spacing, and Margins?
    Do you have anything set to show in the Metadata & Page Options section?
    Are you waiting long enough for the print preview to generate the page previews?  It can take a minute or longer.

  • Captions in Contact Sheet II

    I typically create CD case covers from a group of images in Bridge using the Tools > Photoshop > Contact Sheet II command, and sporadically find that my file names come out as garbled captions in the resulting file -- sometimes just one or two of the group's files, sometimes all, sometimes none.
    Has anyone else encountered this and is there a way to guarantee getting actual file names as captions 100% of the time? Thanks!

    I am running Photoshop CS3 on Mac os X (leopard) and had the same problem with the contact sheet II command. By systematically shortening the file name, I found that file names with 28 or more characters caused caption errors, although the file names appear OK in Bridge.
    I never had this problem with Photoshop CS2 running on Windows XP.

  • Contact Sheet II Caption Incorrectly Sized

    I've used the Contact Sheet plugin in PS for years to generate contact sheets and never had any problems. However, starting just last week the captions (the image filenames in my case) are generated far too small. No matter what I make the font size in the settings the captions stay tiny. Has anyone else encountered this?

    Hi Gianni,
    I haven't had that problem I'm afraid. I installed the CS X2.1 and set up the templates (I set the output resolution to 402 for my printing company) and ran it and it worked perfectly for me. The default resolution is 72 - have you changed that for your own value?
    Whilst I was waiting for a fix for this issue I set up a template in the Print module in Lightroom and I find it is much faster and easier to generate contact sheets that way. Let me know if you want any info

  • How do I include metadata information (aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance) to each image on contact sheet?

    How do I include metadata information (aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance) to each image on contact sheet?

    Just to expand JimHess reply. This are all the EXIF data you can include on a print. As far as I know, WB is not written to any standard EXIF fields.

  • Bridge to InDesign Contact Sheet - Define Caption Code for name?

    Hello,
    Another beginners question, but I promise after this I'm done:
    I'm using a script written for Bridge CS4 to create contact sheets in InDesign v 5.03.
    When the dialog window opens in Bridge to set the parameters for outputting the contact sheet, one of the option is to give the items on the contact sheet a caption - for this it offers some suggested codes.
    To add the filename as the caption, the code is <var filename>. This gives me the file name plus extension i.e. image1.jpg.
    Creation date is another, code is: <var cdate[YYMMDD]>
    I would like the caption to just be the filename without the .jpg extension, i.e. image1
    Does anyone know what the code would be to give the script the instruction to leave off the extension, please?
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Can I print a contact sheet that includes the caption for each photo using Photoshop Elements 13 for Mac. I previously used Photoshop Elements 6 for the PC and could do this.

    I just switched to a Mac and installed Photoshop Elements 13. I previously worked with many years with Photoshop Elements 6 on a PC where I used the contact sheet function -- with each's photo's caption included -- to print print a collection of 400+ member photos for a club I belong to. This worked beautifully. I assumed I'd still have this ability with my new software, but can't figure out how to do it. Help.

    Try using psd.  Some rerports indicate some confustion between the apps with TIFF.  See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15921933#15921933
    I cannot confirm, nor test, since I use PS CS5, and not Elements.
